Do you have a favorite playlist? One you listen to on the way to school or to “get in the zone” before a sporting event? What about a worship play list? One that you listen to when you’re feeling down or to get you in the groove before church?

Many of us have our favorite playlists and I want to challenge you to add these five songs, or similar ones you may like better, to the playlist you listen to most often. I promise if you focus on the words and the message, it will lift your spirits and remind you of the amazing gifts of Christ’s death on the cross. So here we go!

Do you love Christmas music?! I hope so! Today, I wanted to write a short post about five Christmas songs you need to have in your holiday playlist.

While decorating my house for Christmas and streaming music, I have found a few new Christmas songs that I love as well as traditional songs that have almost brought me to tears. I’m going to list them below with links to their YouTube videos. Enjoy!

“Come Alive (Dry Bones)” by Lauren Daigle is currently all over the airwaves. In the song, she combines the “Valley of Dry Bones” story from Ezekiel and applies it to prodigals, or those who know God, but have turned their backs on Him.

The more I heard this song, the more I felt impressed to write this post. It is broken into three (not long!) parts. The first part is the Bible section from the book of Ezekiel where the “dry bones” come from. The second part is a reminder about the prodigal son; the third is the song. At the end, we’ll talk about four ways these give us hope for the return of the prodigals in our lives.

I’m sure you have seen the slogan “Come as You Are” on many church signs through your life. Sometimes we see it so much we just gloss over it and forget the power that is behind that message.

And to be honest, not many people in the world are buying it. As the church we may say that, but I’ve been in churches where this is not the case.

People who are lost can end up at one of these churches and get the feeling that, “I have to be clean, whole and perfect before I go to church.” They equate Christianity with perfection and that is so far from the truth.

Who do you look for when you’re spiritually ill? A takeaway from the song “Take me to the King”

Take a second to answer the following question: If you were going to the hospital in an emergency situation, who would you be trying to find? Seriously think about it. [Insert Jeopardy theme song here]

Would you look for the janitor? The payment clerk? A worker at the gift shop?

NO. You would be looking for a nurse or doctor. Someone that could actually help you. We’ll come back to this point in a minute, so keep it in mind…
